Lamine Yamal is expected to return to training with FC Barcelona next Tuesday, November 18th, and could feature in their match against Athletic Club the following Saturday, November 22nd, according to a report from The Cope.
The 18-year-old winger recently departed the Spanish national team camp after undergoing a radiofrequency procedure to address pubic discomfort. The Spanish Federation expressed surprise at the treatment, which carries a recommended recovery period of 7-10 days. This incident marks the third consecutive international break where Yamal’s health has been a point of contention between club and country. His anticipated return to the field will be a relief to both Barcelona and fans, as the young star continues a protocol to treat his pubalgia and navigate ongoing scrutiny surrounding his fitness management.
Barcelona will be closely monitoring Yamal’s progress as he rejoins training, with his availability for the Athletic Club fixture dependent on his recovery.The situation highlights the delicate balance clubs and national teams face in managing player health and workload, especially with rising young talents like Yamal who are integral to both sides’ ambitions.
